Case of Heart of Atlanta motel Importance of the case The case of the Heart of Atlanta Motel and the United states was significant due to the location in which the Heart of Atlanta’s motel was situated. The hotel was located near the 75 and 85 interstates and also boarded major Highways in Georgia. Most of the clients who visited the hotel were nonresidents of the state, and therefore the case was crucial because it affected interstate commerce by barring the blacks from other states from visiting the hotel (Davis & Cortner, 2001). The discrimination of the blacks was a grave matter because a significant number of black people travelled through the area, and if they heard that the Heart of Atlanta motel rejects black people, then they would opt to go to other routes due to lack of housing and find other hotels. This definitely would affect interstate commerce with time and would possibly lead to the collapse of other businesses. The case was also critical because it was a representation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which…

Maker Movement One of the emerging trends in the realm of learning is the Maker Movement. This is a movement that seeks to encourage creativity and imagination in communities and the use of digital and physical forums to promote innovations. This paper reviews articles that have explored the Maker Movement from various perspectives. In its article, WE ARE TEACHERS STAFF (2013) explores how the Maker Movement applies in the education sector. It states that new technologies, such as robotics, 3D printing, e-textile, and microprocessors, have a special place in schools. The Maker Movement ensures that these tools are affordable either freely or cheaply, in addition to offering platforms for sharing the resulting knowledge and inventions. The article reiterates that the goals of the Maker Movement overlap with those of the traditional school systems, which entail harnessing the creative power of children and offering learner-centered lessons (WE ARE TEACHERS STAFF, 2013). I agree with this article that there is a special place of the Maker Movement in the traditional school system. However, I feel that the article does not explore how…

The Black Panther Party The Black Panther Party The Black 9Panther, also referred to as the “Black Panther Party for Self-Defense,” was a revolutionary party for African-American people. The party was founded in 1966 in California by Bobby Seale and Huey Newton (Williams et al. 2016). At its inception, The Black Panther Party was primarily for patrolling the neighborhoods of the African Americans to ensure residents are protected from police cruelty and brutal acts. According to Spencer (2016), party was finally transformed into a Marxist movement that advocated for all African Americans to be armed, freedom of all African Americans from all sorts of sanctions perpetrated by the White majority, release, and end of mass incarceration of African Americans, and most importantly, the party agitated for compensation for all African Americans for the many centuries that they have been subjugated by the whites. During the party’s peak (in the late 1960s), membership of the Black Panthers Party had risen to more than 2,000 (Franziska, 2017), and it had established its operational chapters in many cities of the Americas.

THE SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT The suffrage movement traces its origin to the 19th century and culmination in 1920 following the Nineteenth Amendment of the US Constitution through which the women folk were granted the right to vote1. Interestingly, however, it is around the times of the Amendment which saw the rifest backing to the anti-suffragism crusade2. The ‘Antis’ movement was primarily entrenched in the need to parade the feebleness of the women fraternity beyond their old-style roles, widespread partialities and the fear of change. According to most of the anti-suffragism arguments, the women’s suffrage movement strongly prompted deep-seated feminism eventually undermining the traditional social order and gender roles3. Other prevalent partialities were rooted in the belief that the women had no right to vote as they lacked the stability of mind and temperamental stillness during emergencies and could, therefore, not be trusted to make such sensitive decisions. The men also feared the imminent change. According to the males in the anti-suffragism camp, the women owed them submission and domestic labor4. On the other hand, they were expected to provide masculine governance…
